I wanna be like L. Ron Hubbard when I grow up.
-
It has something to do with evil alies takin over the world an curing homosexuality an thats why most celebs join it.
-
does anyone in the forum follow this so called religion?
-
I drive by a Sceintology church a lot, I'm always curious. I'm afraid if I go in I'll get brainwashed tho lol.

i'm a scientologist

i'm a scientologist
yeah? what is the whole point of it?
-
someone who used to be a friend of mine - until he got so messed up by that institution that we went seperate directions - is a scientologist. all I can say that shit is expensive AS FUCK, they obviously have some good things to offer... but in the end they are like drugs.
something good to offer \ getting you high
damn expensive
you become dependant \ addicted
you cant live without them
there are some actors among them because they have a lot of power, and they can help actors with their career by pulling some strings.

I have a friend who was basically religion shopping and got involved with them for a while, he didn't have much good things to say and was convinced that the more money you have the 'farther you go' in the religion, it isn't like most religions where everyone is equal with a few appointed leaders or clergy, there's a succession of rituals and trials and meetings and evaluations and things you go to, and each one costs big bucks. I believe ultimately it's supposed to be a philosophy, that is a structured way to practice whatever religion you practice.
For instance, say I had a church and I let in every denominations, muslim, jew christian, zoroastrians or whatever the heck. My only thing though was that when you came in, you gave me 10 bucks to sit in this room that's painted all blue, while I played waterfall music and you prayed to your god lying on your back on the floor.
Scientology's something like that, has something to do with a structured way to practice religion
-
so its just a designer church ?
-
Well, it's DEFINATELY a designer church, but the guy who started it, L. Ron Hubbard started a bunch of strange ass practices along with it. Like say when you come in my blue room, I tell you I don't think you should smoke during the week until our next session because when you come through the door it smells like smoke and fucks up the mood.
etc. he injected personal beliefs into it and also started just tons of crazy rituals and ideas that were part of the structure of it. They basically consider Hubbard a prophet of God, like the mormons believe there's a living prophet of God. etc.
-
oh oh i can see the weirdness in all that 'n u know i dont like weirdness that much
-
Involves money and inject their personal beliefs on you? Sounds like organized religion to me :D
Tom Cruise is a feton 7 in Scientology (basically the more you contribute, the higher your status) anmd supposedly he has healing powers now.
-
^ i think he can cure the sick too... i've seen some nast ass spots on katie holmes mouth before...

All L. Ron Hubbard did was grossly exploit what every other religion in the world has been doing since the dawn of time: prey on people's worst fears, tell them if they don't believe you you'll spend eternity in hell, and oh yeah - god needs your $$$. But yes watch the south park episode - they're actually being truthful on all the beliefs of the religion. They believe our souls were banished to earth by aliens.
Sikotic is right - the more scrilla you cough up, the higher up you move on the ladder. As you move higher up, you eventually have the ability to leave your physical body, and control matter and time with your mind!
The celebrity thing is one of the smartest moves by my nigga L. Ron. Scientology purposely targets celebs - they have loads of money, and loads of influence. Shit, Tom Cruise has been in some of my favorite movies, and he seems like an alright guy. If he believes it, it must be good! Plus, celebs believe they are on a higher plane than the rest of the world so it really works out great.
Rollingstone also had a great article on it a few issues ago. If you can get your hands on it, its highly entertaining. They basically have a mole infiltrate the church of scientology, and go through the process. Very informative, yet very disturbing that people are so lost that they would actually believe that pile of bullshit.
